Been a while since I've posted; just been browsing every body else's rants and ideas, anyway, I've added a few things since the new year - mainly one up on back and one down on rear (sprockets) (plus Speedo Healer gadget, needed it- about 17% over-read), head and swing arm loobed/serviced, crash bobbins and most importantly RIM STRIPES!!!!!

What ya think!!?? Errr, I'm not sure either. :confused :confused The yellow stripes on the grey wheels doesn't contrast well IMHO, but it might grow on me. I think it'll look better with black rims (is this what the later model had as standard or am I mistaken?).

Anyway, hope to see a lot of you in Wales Fri eve. Ta for now. Griff. :beer:

Looks good in my opinion Griff, subtle but noticeable. Nice. Enjoy your trip to Wales with the rest of the hoolies.

Seriously though, I like the yellow rim stickers, they suit the bike. That's one very clean looking storm you got there.

Have Fun. :thumbup:

I took this pic today aswell, can't see the wheels but just looking better and better as I tweak here and there!!!

I put the bluey type main and 'side' bulbs in and they look fresher and not as yellowy (old fashioned), also painting the belly pan made a big difference. Getting there. Not sure where, but there!!!

Oh and Carl, you gotta love the balance bike! Ill post a recent pic of it - its ace!!

Looks good, nice to see you sneaking an aircraft into the background. What is it?

I am also thinking to tryout yellow rim tape on mine, but it has black wheels, so should stand out nicely.

So looks like at least 3 fast ones going to Wales, we will have to plan some stops for the others to catch up :wave:

Mac, Yep indeed - us yellow 'ins have gotta stick together as well with all that jealousy out there!! In background are a Puma help and a little 'Grob' tutor! Good spot! Might get my wheels done next winter-black. Dunno yet. Weather looks good for the weekend - or option B!!!! Griff :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

Excellent composition, you take good pics, nice angles. :thumbup:
Getting there. Not sure where, but there!!!
Front forks. :wink:
Loving it!!!!
That's superb :clap: :clap: :clap: What a lovely thing to do while recuperating. You could make money selling them. :thumbup:

I got to say though, Black would not suit it. Yellow is perfect as it's made for a child you need to keep the speed down. :lol:
